Are you still sorting your plans for the summer? Add one of these festivals to your diary, from Birmingham’s Made Festival to London’s All Points East.
So you just got done watching all the amazing Glastonbury sets, from Kendrick Lamar to Billie Eilish, and you’ve spent the day wishing you were there – trust me, I feel your pain.
The annual festival seemed to be the place everyone was at, resulting in some serious FOMO and a desire to get out there trudge around the mud with the rest of them – and luckily for all of us, Glastonbury only marked the beginning of the festival season.
Yes, the time has officially come for us to put on our wellies, apply layers of glitter and drink copious amounts of Kopperberg – and see some good live music, of course.
With more festivals returning this year, many of us have a desire to shake a leg and fully let loose, and if you haven’t booked tickets yet, we’ve got you covered.
From day-long festivals in London to full-on weekenders up North, these are the festivals with tickets still available that you should get before they sell out.
The iconic Latitude festival is one of the UK’s favourite mega-festivals, thanks to its world-class lineup of music, comedy, poetry, and more – and this year looks no different.
